SAGINAW, MI — A Saginaw man charged with threatening to kill a witness and with possessing four firearms turned himself in to authorities Friday.

Police had been searching for Gary A. Russell Jr., 22, since April 24, when they executed a search warrant at his home at 1350 Huntley on Saginaw's South Side.

In connection with the raid, prosecutors charged Russell, who already faced a charge of intimidating a witness by threatening to kill or injure and was free on bond, with four counts of possessing a firearm as a felon.

Russell's arrest warrant alleges that police found two AK-47s, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a 9mm handgun at the residence.

Russell also is charged with possessing with intent to deliver marijuana and five counts of possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony-second offense, which carries a mandatory consecutive five-year prison term.

Russell, whom The Saginaw News featured in its “Most Wanted” section Sunday, was scheduled for a Friday afternoon continuation of his preliminary hearing on the witness intimidation case. Russell appeared for the hearing and was taken into custody.

Saginaw County District Judge Kyle Higgs Tarrant arraigned Russell on the new charges and ordered him held on a $1 million cash-only bond. Russell remained jailed this weekend.

As about 30 people sat inside Clark's courtroom awaiting the beginning of Amaris Z. Kinnard's preliminary hearing in connection with a March 6 quadruple stabbing, yelling could be heard from the large group of people — at least 20, mostly teenagers — assembled outside the courtroom.

Multiple county sheriff's deputies and other officers and detectives nearby were able to end the dispute minutes later, but not before multiple threats were made against a 17-year-old girl who was one of the four victims from the incident but the only one willing to identify who stabbed her and against the two other witnesses who were to testify, police said.

Quinn and Russell were arrested after the skirmish. Kinnard was bound over for trial.

Tarrant on Friday delayed the remainder of Russell's hearing. Russell is scheduled for a May 17 preliminary hearing before Tarrant on the gun possession case.
